My husband had a liver transplant in June, 2012. He was only given given prograf and prednisone immediately following the transplant. The prednisone was stopped after 3 months and he continues only taking 0.5 mg 2x daily of prograf 10 months later.

I would suggest you discuss this matter with your wife's hepatologist and surgeon to see if her drugs can be changed.
